I am receintely divorced and I thought I had finally gotten threw the battered beaten down mess that my life had turned into. I had started dating again and met someone who is just truely wonderful. I could not have asked for someone better in my life and in the lives of my children. But there is one demon for me and a demon for the children. Mine is how the hell do I begin to trust completely after being cheated on and let down by every guy who has entered into my life. Now I know that you are supposed to begin with a beginners mind, and for the most part I have. I just find myself unable to trust ppl in general. I never know if that one girls who acts as my friend is going to be the end all be all of my relationship. How do I totally heal from the cheating and move on. As for my children, they are unable or unwilling to let go of my ex husband. The kids have accepted my new b.f. but it is almost as though they too are waiting for the other shoe to drop. And they still refer to and want to talk to the old. How do I begin to move them forward to healing?
